A mural to commemorate Irish champion boxer Kevin Sheehy was unveiled outside St Francis Boxing Club last Saturday.
The talented boxer (who killed in a hit-and-run earlier this year) will be forever remembered thanks to the work of Sheehy’s Coach Ken Moore and his wife Marion, who had the piece commissioned by ADW Artists in an ‘effort to keep the spirit of Kevin alive.’
“We went to see Michael Conlan box in Belfast, he dedicated the fight to Kevin and his family and his newborn child. So Mick had been walking around Belfast and in showed us the front of two or three murals. He was very proud of those and he said he loved having him there so people could see them and his own kids come see them, and it was like a lightbulb moment for us”
Speaking to Sporting Limerick, Moore reflected on Kevin’s Olympic standard potential and talent and how his death has affected everyone at St Francis Boxing Club.
